Neemrana & the big city

It was a beautiful new year’s eve .
What made it beautiful was not that the year was ending, after all the date
change happens every day and so does the time which changes every second.It was something more.

As I stepped out of the ‘mahal
‘(that’s what they call rooms in- here) I truly felt elevated. It was the sheer
feel of being in Rajasthan and being amidst peace where life moves at a pace
defined by the people who stay here.
Believe me, you would want to stay here forever not because you are
staying in a palace but you are in a surrounding where you feel at peace with
yourself.

As I happen to sip an early morning
tea (though I am a coffee person) I was joined by Elena . She happens to be a globe-trotter and loves
capturing the ‘speed’ of cities as she says.Together we decided to head out for
an early walk . As we scrolled through the village we realized that even before
the start it came to an end and we ended up thinking how easy life would be if
everything would be so simple and only need based .

People here have one ambition - to
be happy . They don’t want to run after money , power or what we big ‘city’
folks call as – ambition . Here , they
want to have a family , a wife who is loving and caring and a kid or two , may
be who bring the ‘ noise’ in the small home. Men, usually have small land
piece/s that they work in through the day and earn a living. At end of the day the entire family gathers
around a small stove or a ‘chulla’ , sit
on the ground and everyone shares a meal and enjoy a blissful night’s sleep.

Imagine this in contrast to what
some of us big ‘city’ folks tend to do or are usually doing . We step out early to chase our dreams ( as we
would like to call ) , step in late evening at our PG accommodation ( or homes
, as our family calls them ) and then
again get wired to the already wireless devices . Did you find an iota of peace or happiness in
all of this ? The answer is something we
all know. And we all are aware deep down
within . That’s one of the reason why we big’city’ guys take breaks , one of
the good things that we still try to do.

As Elena said, it’s not important to
have a profile that speaks volumes of you. Its important to have a life that lets
you live and live freely and speaks about you.My FACEBOOK page is LIVE now . Click here

Well said.. these trips always make us realize the beauty in simplicity.. its amazing how these small, simple moments are the ones we remember, cherish and write about- and not the 12 hour long work days we put in.. we go without expecting much and receive so much more in return.. Also helps drive home an important thought- if our needs, our expectations are simple, life may indeed be simple..

You may think its the power and the pride that comes with the post which an IPS officer holds or some of you may say its the
sheer status the word IPS reflects upon . The perks like most of us
know , is having an unprecedented power , a lal-batti , a huge team which does
' Jai Hind ' and a whole lot of a new world .

Given, I have had a good fortune
to be in a family of IPS and know and understand from them what is it being an
IPS officer most of the above mentioned movies or may be the image we tend paint
in our minds is very different from what actually is an IPS officer and what
all does he undergoes to be one.

I would put my take on this and
share with you all my thoughts on what is a life of an IPS .

Studying is just a part of it .
The civil services examination is considered not only the toughest in Indian
competitive examination scenarios but also one o…

There is something about rains and open spaces that make me a little more than hilarious . And not only me , couple of others as well .

Today , rains in Delhi bought back the festive cheer killing the week long SMOG clouding all around Delhi / NCR . As I up for an early morning catch-up breakfast with a few special folks , we decided let's step out and drive away to a place far from the traffic snarls yet has a festive cheer .

The thought came to go to Kodaikanal . While you may think I am crazy and my rest of the gang mad but then this is how life should be - unplanned , unbiased and unimaginable yet positive .

Known world over as the princess of hill stations this place has made me fall in love all over again . My first thought on reaching here was , this can't be in India . This has to be a foreign location. Pristine surrounding , lovely people to talk to and spend time with and not to forget the bicycles that can be rented to take a ride or two around the famous Kodaikan…

Everytime I travel, I look forward to meeting new people. New places as well can be explored but what is home without humans!? Off late, besides the flights getting delayed, I like to reach the airport ahead of my scheduled departure timing & sit around in the lounge & read or chit-chat. Works for me. Last week was fun & yet a bit hectic. During one of my lounge visits I hosted a dear friend ( though exactly for 15 minutes ) for a small #CoffeewithKaran session & off he had to go. In those 15 minutes we spoke in true blue corporate styles. First 5 minutes updates from him and I sipped my hot chocolate and then the next 5 minutes updates from my side. The remaining 5 minutes were spent on discussing ' better than before' . During my flight I met an amazing doctoral student or a fellowship candidate as she likes to be described. She was pursing her close 4 years doctor fellowship from a premium institute and such was her focus that she decided not to get married …
